It is a lovely little kit that’s for sure. There are bigger ones and an actual “M.A.S.H” variant too. 14 hours ago, Lewis95 said: Impressive bud!

The Spadgent Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hey. A little more on this tiny wonder. The tank got fitted. And the main shaft thingy got popped on too. I added the decals to the panels. They will get dulled down with a wash don’t worry. 😇 I added a bit of a flory wash (again) to the new and some of the old parts. Must forget to make the stretchers. 🤩 That’s your lot. Short and hopefully sweet. Hope you’re having a lovely week so far. Happy Modelling.

The Spadgent Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Good evening guys. As mentioned to @corsaircorp with all these builds going on I seem to be doing thing all out of order. I’m sure I have top coated at Floried this thing at least three times. 🤔 I need to do it again after decals and another Flory but I have the bubble in place. Unmasked obvs. 🤦♂️ So I employed some of that mask stuff from Humbrol. I will bung the doors with sponge. 😇 I also re painted the insignia as I wasn’t happy with them. Better now and glued in place. while that dried I picked up the Blenheim. Johnny. 😇 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejboyd5 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Interesting to see your use of the proper medical single snake Rod of Asclepius rather than the two snake Caduceus or Staff of Hermes, Appreciate the attention paid to historical correctness although I can not locate a clear enough picture of the M*A*S*H 1:1 example to confirm a single snake rather than the two snake Caduceus that has been incorrectly appropriated in the USA to represent medicine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I used my memory while painting . It is rather tiny though so I’m sure I’ll get away with blue murder. Thank you regardless. 👌🙌🙃 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Some work done on the little one but most of my time has been spent on the Blenheim of late. The rotors got their stripes painted as the decals were just too fiddly. And masking off. and the rear. These got a gloss coat and some flory action. After @CedB had trouble with his masking pen I decided the purple people eater had to come off. I’d matte coated a few days ago. 🤞🤞🤞🤞 And POP! Wonderful. Just assembly and the stretchers to go. Thanks for dropping by folks. More in the week. Johnny. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 @giemme @Spookytooth @Pete in Lincs @CedB @corsaircorp @Terry1954 @Quiet Mike @Nikolay Polyakov @Lewis95 and @perdu Thank you do much for all the kind words. 🤩 Thinking of our @Martian today I decided to crack on with the scratch built stretchers out of card. 🦑🦑 First I popped on the rotors. Then I got on with the stretchers. placcy card cut and edges glued. Lower struts added and transparent covers heated using hot water and rolled around a pencil. A quick dry fit. pre shade/ painted and top coat on. 🙌 I’m not sure if there would be restraining belts on these. I have seen them when there is a body on board but not without. Just need to fit the clear parts. Nearly there with this one. Thanks for dropping by. Hope you all had a brilliant weekend. Johnny. 🎃 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
